Prior to the Commissioner’s review of strategic leadership and statutory officers, North Yorkshire Police had embarked on a rationalisation of senior police staff roles.

Because the implementation of the new statutory officers impacted on these roles, the decision was taken to combine the final stages of the two reviews. The result of the two reviews is a more streamlined, cost-effective structure across North Yorkshire Police and the Office of Police and Crime Commissioner. It also means that the Commissioner will have fewer senior salaries to pay, and whilst there were some short-term costs to redundancy, these were outweighed by the long-term gains. The three years following this decision will mean savings will total of £868,000 and thereafter £387,000 per year.
